CDT Roundup: Capital Markets Deals Drive $8.6B Week

The week that ended Sept. 6 saw 20 deals with a reported value of $8.6 billion. That seems, at first glance, far better than last week’s 10 total deals for $3.5 billion. And it is. But not better than the 12 deals for $20 billion we saw this time last year.

But a closer look shows that the numbers were thin on money actually changing hands. First off, most of the money reported was on the capital markets side, $5.7 billion of the $8.6 billion reported. And on the M&A side, we saw $2.9 billion reported, but $1.57 billion of that was in a single midstream deal.

Energy deals were in abundance, six of them if you count a major produced water deal (which we just did). There was an aerospace manufacturing deal, a couple of metals processing deals, a bank deal, an acquisition by a cloud-based workforce management platform, the sale of an ethanol plant, a couple of midstream deals, the sale of a Dallas asset manager and a merger of Midwest fiber communications providers.

But let’s remember, it was a week that began with a holiday.

Have a deal we should include next week?

The CDT Roundup is a regular feature from The Texas Lawbook highlighting the work Texas dealmakers are doing inside and outside the state.

Please let us know at CDTRoundup@texaslawbook.net by sharing a news release or a short blurb containing the date of the deal, a brief description, a link to any public announcement, the lead lawyers and their offices, as well as any Texas lawyers who advised on the deal.
